It would be very much appreciated if you would give New-Line Cinema a call and tell them that your fans are not going to take it. We demand the Extended Editions of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" now. We know that you can help us, so please do it!

Sincerly,

A Fan....for now.

Hello, A Fan...
If you had read the interview (or indeed followed any news in the last 2 years) you would know that New Line is now owned by WB and no longer is responsible for this process.
Great interview

I honestly don't understand the flap about the LotR Blu-ray release. If you don't like it, don't buy it; it's really that simple. When did we become first and foremost a species of impatient, panties-in-a-bind, incessant whiners? Get a grip, people. The world is not going to end because Warner Bros. put out a bad product. There will be many, many more releases of this film over the next 40 years and beyond. Personally, I hope they issue a cut where Gimli is not reduced to a running burp-fart gag.

Good advice. I didn't buy it, and don't plan to.

Mr. Jackson,

I am begging you, if you have any ability to do so, please ask them to make a proper video transfer of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy to Blu-Ray. The video quality on the current Blu-Ray release is awful. Everything is digitally smoothed to the point of looking DVD-like. They should be using the Avatar transfer as a role-model...

Dear PJ,
If WINGNUT/WETA/et al were to put in an offer to purchase the rights to film and market "The Hobbit" from the MGM liquidators I ASSUME that the offer would be favourably considered with a minimum of caveats based on your bankable name as a top film director alone. (Of Course!)

Surely MGM would be interested in ANY negotiations of future box office royalties from the proposed film project with a 'guaranteed' worl-wide audience and subsequent marketting sales.

I guess that you are in a strong position to negotiate with all parties concerned so long as the Americans adopt a broader view of the future of film making being in the hands of smaller independent studios not the huge corporate monsters of The 'Old Hollywood' that just died in the GWR.

Your World Fan-base, followingin the wake of your prodigious film-making skills and extraordinary creative talent as a producer is your true power to postulate, visualise, create AND materialise because you have all the support of maybe three billion fellow film-lovers.
The Hobbit actually does exist in some near-future reality. It IS a classic of fantasy film entertainment, there 'are' copies of this film in many billions of homes for all future generations. The film was a success and always will be because it was concieved to be so from the very first moment that JRR started to tell the story to his children. It was fate that chose your team to put that into the physical world becuase you believed in it as we all did. So it simply remains for you and your team to realise the actual mechanical process into the material world. It is a bit like real magic...first comes the dream and the reality inevitably follows-on behind because it has a reality somewhere in Eternity waiting for an eager soul to pluck it out of the ether and add the atoms and molecules to the vision. Go for it with Faith, because there is no-one who wishes you any ill-will on the project.
I will see you on the set!
